How to I tell Rust where to look for a static library?

Question

Is there any way to tell Rust where to look for my static library? Example code

#[link(name = \"/this/is/the/path/libfoo.a\", kind = \"static\")]

To add on to the accepted answer, what worked for me is as following:

• under debug build, putting dependency files under target/debug/deps worked; but putting files under target/debug/native/* did not seem to work.

Cargo seems to only look under target/debug/deps by default.

You can run with cargo build --verbose to see the verbose rustc commands and the options used. -L option specifies additional link dependency directory.
